Praying with the Stations of the Crib

The Christmas Story is a dearly loved story for children of all ages. During this retreat, we will listen and ponder stories drawn from the Infancy Narratives in the Gospels of Luke and Matthew. Using Scripture, the Spiritual Exercises of St. Ignatius of Loyola and “Stations of the Crib” by Joseph Nassal as our guides, we will embark on a journey of hope to the manger in Bethlehem in and in hearts.
